@damithc this is what the new structure looks like, very similar to what you had originally provided as well, but with more structure to force contributors to minimally consider the various aspects of the exercise

@woojiahao Looks good. Some comments:

Put Exercise setup before Instructions to students (because the former provides context to understand the latter)?

Instead of a checkbox, we can have a Remote repositories needed (if any): box so that info about remote repo need not go into the Additional remarks section.

Sounds good. I've updated the template to reflect these.

For the checkbox, it's also because they need to make a request if the exercise discussion is not created by you/me. I'll make it an open input then

[damithc]

@woojiahao can you do this first (before log-and-order)?

[woojiahao]

I've already started working on log-and-order: #33

I'll do this next

[woojiahao]

I'm going based on the order we agreed on, so this would have been next anyways:
